Shipwreck Treasure Museum

The Shipwreck Museum, which is located above the Historic Port of Charlestown, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, provides a unique glimpse into the history of Charlestown, including the chance to explore subterranean tunnels that were formerly used to load clay onto ships anchored in the harbour. You will also get the opportunity to see the biggest private collection of shipwreck relics in Europe, which has over 8,000 items from more than 150 shipwrecks, making it the largest such collection in the world. At the conclusion of your tour, you may browse for nautical treasure, Poldark-themed items, seaworthy literature, genuine shipwreck coins, and other unique Cornish souvenirs in a freshly renovated store. Aside from that, we’re pleased to offer a unique variety of excellent wines and spirits, as well as rum, cognac, and other items that have been brought to Charlestown Harbour by the Grayhound, a three-masted bespoke lugger that sails throughout Europe selling high-quality culinary products.
